Dmitri's arm is locked in place despite the increasing power that is being diverted to the machine's armature - as evidenced by the screaming whine and brightening yellow-white light of the force field.
He blinks slowly and deliberately and when his eyes open again, Dmitri's left cybernetic eye had changed modes - not to its normal mode, or UV mode, or IR mode - but a configuration we've never seen before. His eyes widen and his gaze is focused intently on the armature against which he ...

And then a brilliant flash of cyan blue laser light briefly connects Dmitri's left eye and the power coupling of the device holding his right arm in its force-field grip. This is followed by an explosion as the power coupling is sliced open, its internal components melted and fused.
Dmitri's right arm snaps backwards as that arm is suddenly released. The cuff is dead, it's power light extinguished. Dmitri smiles as he turns his attention to the next field generator holding his right foo...

Dmitri takes a deep breath and then pulls his right arm downwards and back with all of his considerable strength. The machine's armature slides along its ring and its glow intensifies to a brilliant yellow-white as it struggles to hold Dmitri's arm immobile. The machine's low hum rises in pitch and volume until it reaches a strident whine. Dmitri's bicep bulges, his face contorts and his arm shakes with the effort as he continues to move his arm inexorably downwards - the machine unable to ov...

Eric taps out a code on the courier ship's keypad to re-secure it and then hops on his hoverbike and takes off back to the Kuroi Akuma Maru. The large rear cargo bay door opens to admit Eric as he approaches the ship and he flies inside and comes to a stop. Eric dismounts and checking that the cargo door has already closed again, he approaches a shipping container and sets the metallic cube on top of it.
"Okay, it seems to be tuned to me and I think I twist the top since it now appears ...

Dmitri raises his head and looks at one of the force-field generators that bind him securely in place.
"Need to see how the mechanism works."
Dmitri blinks his eyes, switching their active operation to Mode C IR/Long λ, infra-red and long wavelength light sensitivity.
"Ahhh, there it is!" he exults silently, his thoughts racing as he spots the power coupling inside the device by its heat signature.
"Eric should be on his way by now,"

"Well, this was not in the plan," Eric says as he squats down next to the low rock on which the mysterious object rests and picks up the truncated metallic cube to examine it more closely.
"This has to be from Dmitri," Eric continues, "and it's got to be something only I can figure out or use."
Eric puts his flashbeam away and places that hand on the other side of the warm metallic object. Once he has both hands on the cube, there is a distinct click from inside t...

How long has he been here? Dmitri doesn't know.
"Soon," Dmitri thinks to himself, "but not quite yet. I must be patient. Wait, a little longer."
